Suzuki GSX R1000

The Suzuki GSX R1000 is a sport bike from Suzuki GSX R series of motorcycles. It was introduced in 2001 to replace the GSX R1100 and is powered by a liquid cooled 999 cc (61.0 cu in) inline four cylinder, four stroke engine.Using titanium for the exhaust down pipe (K1 model link pipe is black, K2 model link pipe is polished titanium) and the inside of the silencer, enabled the 1000s exhaust system to become 4 lb (1.8 kg) lighter than that of the 750.[citation needed] Titanium was also used in the front fork (titanium nitride) to coat the stanchions. An exhaust tuning valve had been mounted inside the exhaust pipe. Using a servo the system dynamically adjusted the exhaust back pressure, according to engine speed, throttle position, and gear selection for increased torque, lower emissions, and decreased noise the (stock) exhaust noise of the GSX R1000 is notably lower than that of the GSX R600.
